I have these as well and they do work great. Had the same pair for 20+ years now.

Season before last, one of my labs caught 3 in the same trip (2 on the same day). It was bitterly cold with lots of snow on the ground. All of the catches the birds were tucked under tall grass that had been laid over by the wind and snow. 2 were roosters and 1 hen.

Just clean them good, put them in bags, and put them in your ice chest. You'll be fine. We just returned from a 9 day trip. Processed them for the freezer when we got home and everything was fine.

The Texas season closed 1/2.

You might consider getting a 40 cal Glock. You can then also buy a Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel for a little over $100 so you will have two calibers with one gun. 9mm is cheaper to shoot and reload, and thus practice with. You can then change back to the 40 cal barrel when you carry. The...

We had decent hunting in the southern panhandle for the opener. The most exciting part of opening day was when my lab suddenly disappeared. He had fallen into a large conical shaped 6 ft deep sinkhole which happened to have 2 skunks in it that had also apparently fallen into the hole...

Saw lots of pheasant in the extreme northern panhandle counties when chasing crane up there last week. We won't be making the trip that far north this weekend, but will be out in the southern panhandle. Good luck to everyone.

Too much of a risk due to the unknowns of the shells. I would pitch them. Cutting one open you could determine the shot size, but it would be difficult to determine the powder used. There are so many variations in hulls, wads, powders and load data for them it would be difficult to determine...

I had the same question when my wife wanted to come along a couple of years ago. I called KDWP and was told she would not need a license as long as she didnâ??t have a gun or carry any game. Itâ??s been a few years, so Iâ??d call and confirm for myself. On public hunting properties managed by...

If I'm not mistaken, I believe this past year was the last year for American Gun Dog. It's too bad.

We went out to West Texas to chase blue quail for the final weekend of the season. The quail were few and far between, but we did get to see some desert bighorn sheep which was a first for us. Considering there are only about 1,200 bighorn in the state, we felt quite lucky to see them. There...

My sister in-law asked for some feathers during her last visit from out of state. She didn't say what she was going to do with them, but we recently got this back from her.

Depending on where you are in the state, yes snakes are out a good portion of the year. It doesnâ??t stay cold enough to keep them hibernating for too long in the central and southern portions of the state. The nighttime temps can be at or below freezing, but it can warm up shortly after...
